Liam's P.O.V.
I folded my arms and eyed Mai suspiciously. "So, you and Ollie aren't plotting some elaborate bullying scheme to deal with me?"
Mai snorted, her silver eyes gleaming with amusement. "Did you not hear a single word I just said, or are you acting stupid on purpose?"
I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Oh, I heard you. Loud and clear. You need me. You, the terrifying Mai Blackwood, can't function without me. Got it."
"Good. Then let me say it again for the slow ones in the back—I need you like I need the air I breath." She leaned in, her smirk fading slightly. "So I would never hurt the one person my sanity depends on."
A strange chill ran down my spine, and I swallowed. She was being serious. Like, deadly serious. And that was somehow more terrifying than if she had just threatened my life.
